A Web site that encourages students to rate their teachers has been banned from hundreds of schools across the nation and administrators are saying it's a distraction and an abomination.

One official in Maryland called RateMyTeachers.com “personally and professionally repugnant” and suggested that teachers might have legal recourse against the Internet forum’s operators.

“It’s akin to medieval public flogging,” said Brian Porter, spokesman for the Montgomery County Public Schools, which said the Web site is filtered out automatically by a central Internet firewall, which blocks student access to anything deemed non-instructional or harmful to children. FOX NEWS
